CREATING TOMMOROWS OPPORTUNITIES

While the core of the reinforcement business at Owens Corning will continue to support direct customers with world-class glass reinforcement products, the business also recognizes the need to join with its customers in aggressively promoting the use of composite materials in selected markets. This work is critically important in creating future demand for composite materials and applications. Market and application development work is so deeply ingrained in the glass reinforcements business at Owens Corning that some say the activities are part of the companys DNA. The company and its customers built the first fiberglass-reinforced boats, car parts and plumbing fixtures applications that are all but taken for granted today. What applications will be the lifeblood of the composites industry tomorrow? No one knows for sure, but chances are good that tomorrows products will be going to markets where active development work is underway today, in markets such as automotive, construction, consumer products, electronics, heavy transportation, infrastructure, and sports and recreation. Within the broad range of markets with attractive potential, Owens Corning has selected a handful for special attention automotive, construction, long-fiber thermoplastics, marine and wind energy. Automotive With a team totally focused on the needs of the global automotive industry, OC Automotive is a recognized leader in implementing unique structural, acoustic and thermal composite solutions. Building on more than 65 years of Owens Corning research and development in glass fiber technology, OC Automotive is committed to continued leadership in advancing the global composites industry. To support the growth of composites, OC Automotive maintains two state-of-the-art facilities that demonstrate the latest composites technology and provide dynamic environments for the development of unique programs. OC Automotive is headquartered in Novi, Michigan, at the heart of the industry in North America. European operations are based in Battice, Belgium. Both facilities are designed to maximize Owens Corning strengths in application development and program management, and provide areas for extensive prototyping and new technology demonstrations.
CREATING TOMMOROWS OPPORTUNITIES

Construction Already the largest global market for composite materials, glass fiber reinforcements continue to find new applications in construction replacing wood and other materials. The strength and dimensional stability of Owens Corning reinforcements increase the performance and durability of building materials. The companys glass fiber composites also continue to gain importance in global infrastructure markets, emerging as the material of choice for construction of waterfront facilities, water containment and transportation, including mass transit. Long-Fiber Thermoplastics Traditional injection molding processes for thermoplastic polymers tend to reduce fiber length and limit reinforcement properties. New processes producing materials such as StaMax P glass/polypropylene thermoplastic yield longer fiber lengths in finished parts to improve strength in appliances and automotive applications. Marine Despite the fact that composite materials are the overwhelming choice for pleasure boats today, there are still challenges to be addressed in the marine industry, such as reducing manufacturing costs and lowering or eliminating resin emissions to comply with industry standards and regulations. Wind Energy Recent technical advances have enabled wind energy to compete on a large, industrialized scale with other energy sources such as fossil fuel, hydro and nuclear power. To promote composite materials in these important markets, Owens Corning has dedicated technical support networks and is working closely with other leading companies.

ADVANTEX GLASS FIBER THE NEW STANDARD

Advantex glass fiber reinforcements from Owens Corning are the innovative solution to a wide range of customer needs. Conversion to the formula at the companys reinforcement plants now exceeds 80 percent of total capacity. The benefits of Advantex glass fiber begin with a common technology platform that is being implemented across Owens Corning product lines and around the globe. It provides customers with a uniform basis for glass fiber specifications offering the same products anywhere in the world. Owens Corning Advantex glass has been formulated to be a boron-free E-glass and to possess significantly improved resistance to the corrosive effects of a range of environments. Advantex glass is both an E-CR glass and an E-glass, in accordance with ASTM D578. When introduced in 1997, Advantex glass was expected to provide superior corrosion resistance in acidic environments. That benefit was confirmed with field use data comparing the acid resistance of Advantex glass to that of traditional E-glass indicating that Advantex glass provides significantly improved resistance to the corrosive effects of acidic environments. Field experience also shows that the product performs well in any aqueous environment, including water and alkaline solutions. Advantex glass products also have a higher softening-point temperature than traditional E-glass an advantage for some applications. Advantex glass fiber also has significant environmental benefits. The product is made in a boron-free process that reduces boron mining and minimizes air pollutants at the source-in the manufacturing process-yet it offers the same recycling opportunities available with traditional E-glass. The Owens Corning global network of technical service experts are teaming with customers and using their experience to solve material, process and application development challenges. This creates new value by ensuring that customers receive optimal benefit from Advantex glass fiber. Advantex glass fibers reflect our unique ability to combine our extensive technical and market knowledge, our experience in composites manufacturing and our leading-edge resources in materials, equipment and processes. It is also Owens Cornings competitive advantage in helping its customers create integrated solutions and high value applications.
SILENTEX SYSTEM SOLVES NOISE PROBLEM

Another pioneering composite solution from Owens Corning is the Silentex noise control system for automotive mufflers and silencers. As roads become more populated, the pressure to reduce noise pollution continues to increase. At the same time, the space automakers are willing to allow for the muffler or silencer is getting smaller. How to control noise more effectively in a smaller space? The solution from Owens Corning is the OC Silentex noise control system that meets the extensive requirements of muffler manufacturers and automotive OEMs. The Silentex noise control process is an integrated system using hightemperature glass fiber roving, tailor-made muffler filling machinery and a cost-effective filling process. Owens Cornings Advantex continuous roving exhibits significantly higher heat and corrosion resistance than traditional absorbent materials. The increased durability of the continuous Advantex glass fiber allows mufflers to be designed with consistent sound quality for the life of the vehicle. For exhaust manufacturers, the versatility of the Silentex technology provides exceptional benefits. The Advantex roving is introduced directly into the muffler cavity using a highly automated and efficient process that results in high accuracy and low waste. The Silentex noise control system uses continuous glass fiber roving that offers outstanding sound absorption properties and better long-term performance than traditional glass fiber and wool filling products. A patented injection-filling process needs 20 percent less roving to meet regulated noise levels and reduces the overall weight and cost of the muffler. Through the companys operations in the USA, Sweden and China, Owens Corning also supplies semi-finished products and bags filled with Silentex roving. The manufacturing operations are certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 9002 standards.

CRATECPLUS CHOPPED STRANDS

CRATEC is the registered trademark used for Dry-Use Chopped Strand glass made with the company's unique in-line process, which is named after the Owens Corning inventor of the process. CRATEC PLUS fibers, another unique product only available from Owens Corning, are chopped strands manufactured in slightly larger and more compact bundles resulting in a product that flows 50 percent faster than regular CRATEC products while creating less fuzz and fines. Because the chemical sizing on CRATEC PLUS fibers is identical to that of CRATEC chopped strands, the only difference will be seen during manufacturing, not in end-use properties. OC Dry-Use Chopped Strands are fibers of varying diameters chopped into a standard length of 4mm and coated with a chemical sizing for particular resin compatibility. The fibers are typically used in processes such as extrusion, injection molding and compounding. OC Dry-Use Chopped Strands are used in thermoplastic and thermoset applications for excellent dimensional stability, shrinkage control, high modulus and chemical resistance. OC Dry-Use Chopped Strands are engineered to improve processing productivity, exceeding the flowability of some competitive chopped strands. OC Dry-Use Chopped Strands are engineered in various diameters to better meet customer requirements. They are designed to improve dimensional stability at high temperatures, to better control the shrinkage of the molded part, and to improve tensile and flexural modulus and impact. OC Dry-Use Chopped Strands are compatible with resins such as unsaturated polyester (UP), polyamide (PA), polybutadiene terephthalate (PBT), polypropylene (PP), modified polyphenylene oxide (PPO), polyphenylene sulphide (PPS), polycarbonate (PC), styrenics, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polyurethane (PU), polyethylene (PE), polyvinylchloride (PVC), polyethersulfone (PES), liquid crystal polymer (LCP), polyetherestherketone (PEEK) and blends.

COMPOSITE PROCESSES
Right after they found a way to make continuous strands of glass fibers in commercial quantities more than 65 years ago, Owens Corning pioneers started developing the processes for combining that material with resin to make reinforced composites. Basic processes like hand lay-up and spray-up came first, of course, followed later by compression molding and filament winding. Today there is a host of sophisticated processes for combining glass reinforcements with a variety of resins to make literally thousands of products. Owens Corning was intimately involved in the development of many of the processes commonly used today.
PROCESS NAME
Cold Press Molding
DESCRIPTION
A semi-open molding process using lighter duty, reinforced cast composite matched tools mounted into a press. Reinforcements, usually continuous filament mats (CFM), are placed into the tool and a highly filled polyester resin is poured onto them. The press is closed and the part is cured. The process requires lower pressures, 15 - 100 lb/in2, and temperatures averaging 130F (55C). Cycle times are in the range of 10 - 20 minutes. Other glass fiber fabrics, mats, veils and preforms are also used. A mass production method where molding compounds and other resin/glass combinations are compressed in matched metal tools located between the platens in a press. Pressures of 150 lbs/in2 and temperatures between 265F (130C) and 340F (170C) are required. Typical cycle times of 2 - 3 minutes are achieved. Molding compounds comprised of a thermoset resin, chopped roving, fillers and a catalyst are used in both sheet form (SMC) and paste (BMC). SMC is placed in the tool to produce parts such as automotive body panels, appliance housings and composite doors, while BMC which can be injected is used for parts needing less overall strength and no Class A surface.
TYPICAL MARKETS
Consumer goods, heavy transportation, sports and recreation; parts usually have a fair-to-poor surface, so uses are under-hood auto and truck components like fan shrouds, brackets and battery supports.
OC PRODUCTS USED
Continuous Filament Mat (CFM), fabrics, Chopped Strand Mat (CSM), multi-end roving and veil.
Automotive, appliance, heavy transportation
Compression Molding
Multi-end roving, chopped strands, Chopped Strand Mat (CSM) and Continuous Filament Mat (CFM).

COMPOSITE PROCESSES
PROCESS NAME
Hand Lay-Up
DESCRIPTION
A combination of reinforcements, including chopped strand mat and woven or knitted fabric, is laid into an open mold with a gel-coat surface and impregnated with resin layer by layer. The resin is manually rolled into the reinforcement to remove any air pockets and to produce a consistent part. Once the resin cures, the finished part is removed from the mold. Chopped multi-end roving, continuous filament mat, reinforcing fabric or chopped strand mat are combined with resin and "sandwiched" between two plastic carrier films. The sheet is pulled through forming rollers and the resin is heated and cured to form flat or contoured composite sheet.
TYPICAL MARKETS
Consumer goods, infrastructure, marine, wind energy; hand lay-up is suited for making high strength parts of any size at low to medium production volumes.
OC PRODUCTS USED
Chopped Strand Mat (CSM), fabrics and veil.
Continuous Lamination
Building products, electronics, heavy transportation; composite construction panels and electrical insulating materials are made in a continuous lamination process. Applications include truck trailer linings, clear truck trailer roofs, wall coverings and corrugated roof panels.
Multi-end roving, Chopped Strand Mat (CSM), Continuous Filament Mat (CFM), fabrics and veil.
Centrifugal Casting
Chopped strand mat and/or fabrics are loaded into a stationary mold which is then rotated at a high speed. Resin is applied to the interior of the mold and the reinforcements and resin are consolidated through centrifugal force to the internal profile of the mold. Chopped multi-end roving can also be sprayed with resin into a cylindrical mold that is already rotating at high-speed.
Cylindrical, hollow infrastructure applications such as tanks, pipes and poles
Multi-end roving, fabrics and Chopped Strand Mat (CSM).

COMPOSITE PROCESSES
PROCESS NAME
Filament Winding
DESCRIPTION
Filament winding is an automated open molding process that uses a rotating mandrel as the mold. Type 30 singleend roving or specialized fabric tapes are drawn through a resin and pulled by the force of a rotating mandrel. The mandrel can be covered with a veil for an inner, corrosion resistant surface, and the roving is spun around the veil. An outer-surface veil can also be applied for corrosion resistance and aesthetics. The process is completed by heating and curing the composite into the final product. Infusion molding processes use a single-sided mold that is covered with reinforcements and sealed with a flexible vacuum bag or film. A vacuum is drawn on the space between the mold and the seal containing the reinforcements, and a thermoset resin is allowed to infiltrate the reinforcements. The resin flows through the reinforcements and cures to form the finished composite. Low-cost composite tooling can be used and environmental emissions are controlled within the closed process. The process of forming a countinuous profile by forcing resin and reinforcements through an endless screw; the softened, compressed material is then passes through an extrusion die to shape the product or part; extrusion is used to manufacture long parts such as piping, cables, fencing and profiles, or molded parts for doors and windows.
TYPICAL MARKETS
Consumer goods, infrastructure, sports and recreation; filament winding is used to make high strength, hollow and (generally) cylindrical composite products such as pipe, storage tanks and pressure vessels.

Injection molding is a closed-molding process where filled or Automotive, building products, electrical unfilled polymer resins are injected into closed matchedand electronics, sports and recreation metal molds. Polymers are commonly thermoplastic, and processed by heating the raw polymer in pellet form to melt point and injecting it into the cooled mold. Thermosets such as Bulk Molding Compounds (BMC) are also used - they are injected into heated molds to effect the cross linking and cure. For higher strength parts, fillers, milled and chopped fibers are blended into the resin with a screw-type extruder. Long Fiber Thermoplastics (LFTP) such as StaMax thermoplastics have a longer fiber length that further improves strength - increasingly important in the appliance and automotive fields.
Preforming is an intermediate molding process where the Marine, sports and recreation, wind energy reinforcement is assembled in the shape of the part to be molded. This helps to ensure uniform properties in a composite product and speed the molding cycle. Most common are directed fiber preforms made by chopping multi-end roving with a binder resin and applying it on top of a molded screen. Held in place with vacuum pressure, the screen is placed into an oven to dry and activate the binder. Another method uses continuous filament mat with a thermoformable binder. Complex preform assemblies can be made using combinations of materials and fabrics in bladder presses or under vacuum. Resin binder, adhesive or mechanical (plastic staples) can be used.

Resin Transfer Molding
DESCRIPTION
TYPICAL MARKETS
OC PRODUCTS USED

Consumer goods, heavy transportation, sports Resin Transfer Molding is a liquid molding process where a thermosetting resin is injected into a closed mold cavity to make and recreation, wind energy moderate volume semi-structural or appearance parts. Dry fiber reinforcement is placed in the bottom half of matching molds, the mold is closed and sealed, then resin is pumped into the mold. The resin wets through the reinforcement and solidifies to form a composite part such as semi-truck parts and electrical cabinets. Molding pressure is lower than in the compression molding process, so tooling and equipment capital costs are lower than high volume compression molding, but higher than open molding processes. Spray-up uses multi-end roving that is fed into a "gun" and chopped Building products, consumer goods, heavy transportation, marine; large, complex parts into bundles of predetermined length. The bundles are sprayed into a resin stream and deposited onto a mold cavity that is gel- such as boat hulls and bath tubs coated for a consistent, smooth surface finish. Once the resin cures, the part is removed from the mold. Spray-up is similar to and often combined with the hand lay-up process. Materials that are pre-impregnated with resin are typically laminated Aerospace, heavy transportation, infrastructure, marine, sports and recreation, wind energy with vacuum bagging. The components include a film or fabric, breather medium and plastic film that is applied in sequence on top of a laminate stack in an airtight mold. Air between the mold and film is extracted with a vacuum pump, resulting in a positivepressure force; this compression forces air and excess resin from a composite laminate or components. Vacuum bagging is also used in conjunction with other processes such as infusion molding and wet lay-up.
Spray-Up
Multi-end roving.
Vacuum Bagging
Continuous Filament Mat (CFM), Chopped Strand Mat (CSM), fabrics and veil.

RESIN COMPATIBILITY
Like the partners in any good marriage, glass fiber reinforcements and resin need to be able to work together. The ingredient that helps the partners bond in composites is the special chemistry applied to the surface of the glass called sizing. In its broadest definition, sizing is any treatment consisting of starch, gelatin, oil, wax, or other suitable ingredient that is applied to yarn or reinforcement fibers at the time of formation to protect the surface and aid the process of handling and fabrication.The treatment contains ingredients that provide surface lubricity and binding action, but no coupling agent. The binding action is what is important in creating a strong laminate. Owens Corning technology has fueled the development of a wide variety of sizing chemicals to provide excellent bonding. So which Owens Corning product do you need to bond with your resin? The following table will help by showing the resin compatibility for many Owens Corning products.

OC SURFACING VEILS
OC Surfacing Veils are available in two types, Dry Process C Veils and Wet Laid ECR Veils. Each is manufactured through a process that is suitable for many composite processes. C VEILS OC C Veils provide corrosion resistance and surface enhancements in many composite manufacturing processes. OC C Veils contain C Glass, which is a chemically resistant glass that withstands acid and alkaline environments. OC C Veils are typically utilized in applications that specify the use of C Glass and when the processing of conformable continuous fibers is preferred. ECR VEILS OC ECR Veils are uniform and can be used in a variety of composite manufacturing processes. OC ECR Veils are made with Advantex glass fiber reinforcements, which combine the electrical and mechanical properties of E Glass with the corrosion resistance of ECR glass. BINDERS OC Surfacing Veils are available with either high solubility or low solubility binders. Low solubility binders provide superior wet strength and resist fiber washing, yet maintain rapid wet-out. High solubility binders dissolve in styrene based resin systems and offer very fast wet-out and conformability to complex part curvatures as the binder is dissolved. All binders are compatible with polyester, vinylester and epoxy resins.

OC SURFACING VEILS
THICKNESS OC Surfacing Veils are generally selected first based on thickness in the composite part. The standard for corrosion resistance and surface enhancement is 10 mil (0.5 mm). Thicker veils are selected for enhanced surface print blocking or added corrosion protection through a thicker resin-rich surface layer. Generally the thinnest layer that gives sufficient surface properties is chosen. For closed molding and infusion process with higher glass content in the laminate, thicker veils are often required to mask the substrate reinforcements. SOLUBILITY AND BINDER SELECTION The selection of the appropriate binder is based on the composite process and matrix resin chemistry. For open molding and complex curvatures, a soluble binder is preferred. The soluble binder chemistry wets out the fastest and can also be used in dry winding processes where wet strength is not required. The Low Solubility binder systems are chosen when wet strength is required, or in cases where high tensile strength is preferred. Epoxy resins are not styrene based and do not quickly dissolve the soluble binder, so an insoluble binder is typically used.

OC VL 8101: PULTRUSION REINFORCEMENT MAT

A UNIFORM PULTRUSION REINFORCEMENT MAT OC VL 8101 Pultrusion Reinforcement Mat is an Advantex glass fiber reinforcement mat designed to add bulk to a pultruded laminate while providing uniform reinforcement. The structure of OC VL 8101 consists of uniformly dispersed individual filaments which ensure a smooth surface appearance. The lofty, high die filling capability of OC VL 8101 at lower mat basis weights reduces cost by replacing heavier reinforcements with less expensive resins on a cost per unit volume basis. The performance of the mat gives comparable structural performance to A Glass Continuous Filament Mat (CFM) with a lower basis weight mat. The two primary applications for OC VL 8101 in pultrusion are as a laminate bulking as a center mat and as a uniform surface mat reinforcement. In laminates where high transverse structural properties are required, OC VL 8101 can be used as a center mat to bulk the laminate in combination with a more structural E Glass CFM or fabrics to give required cross machine direction properties. OC VL 8101 is composed of chopped filaments of Advantex glass fiber reinforcements bonded together with a styrene insoluble binder system designed for pultrusion processes. OC VL 8101 is available in 3/8 oz/sq. ft. (115 gsm) to 1 oz/sq. ft. (300 gsm) versions. At these weights, OC VL 8101 can fill a laminate thickness from 0.015" (0.4 mm) to 0.040" (1.0 mm) as a layer of a pultruded composite. OC VL 8101 utilizes 23-micron diameter glass fibers and a small bundle size to give a uniform and relatively closed veil-like appearance.The fiber architecture remains relatively open to enable it to easily wet out with the pultrusion resin.

PULTRUSION DIE FILLING CHARACTERISTICS OC VL 8101 brings several beneficial features to the process including volume filling capacity and mechanical strength at lower glass percentage. The resulting mat can fill greater thickness in a pultruded laminate with lower basis weight. PULTRUSION MAT INFORMATION OC VL 8101 is currently available in a product to meet the needs of pultruders as a drop-in substitution. The roll sizes match the typical equipment used to slit the product to final use widths. The product is typically supplied in 54 inch (137 cm) wide rolls 4 inch (100 mm) inside diameter cardboard cores 22-inch (56 cm) outside diameter rolls Rolls typically weigh 110 lb (50 kg) 23 micron diameter fibers for heavier weight mats for optimized wetting. 3/8 oz/sq. ft. (115 gsm) uses 16 micron diameter x 1-1/4" (32 mm) long fibers for added tensile strength and uniformity.

OC VL 8860: PRINT BLOCKING SURFACE VEIL

INTRODUCTION Owens Corning VL 8860 is an Advantex glass fiber reinforcement in the form of a surfacing veil designed to reduce the printthrough of coarse structural reinforcements in closed molding processes such as vacuum infusion and Resin Transfer Molding (RTM). OC VL 8860 eliminates the need for wet lay-up skin coat in many infusion applications and enables a smooth finished gel coat surface.Typically the higher glass loadings of many infusion and closed molding processes can lead to severe print through of fiber patterns. This uniform glass reinforcement veil provides a glass fiber layer behind the gel coat and serves as a structural element of the laminate in addition to improving surface cosmetics. When used as a molded-in surface layer, OC VL 8860 resists shrinkage and reduces internal stresses of thick skin coats. OC VL 8860 is suited for many types of composite applications including marine, transportation and recreational applications where surface quality and part performance are important. The fibers used in OC VL 8860 are designed to provide good flow of resin in the liquid molding process.
OC VL 8860: PRINT BLOCKING SURFACE VEIL

DESCRIPTION OC VL 8860 is composed of chopped filaments of Advantex glass fiber reinforcements bonded together with a proprietary Owens Corning soft binder system designed to conform and be compatible with composite resin systems. OC VL 8860 is one oz/sq. ft. (300 g/sm.) and typically produces a 0.040" (1mm) reinforced surface layer in the laminate. The fibers utilized in OC VL 8860 are highly dispersed for a uniform surface appearance.The fiberglass structure remains relatively open to enable it to easily wet out with typical closed molding resins. A chemical sizing is applied to the glass fibers to insure compatibility with common resin systems and long term durability in a composite laminate. Owens Corning has developed a soft binder technology used in OC VL 8860, which provides a soft texture along with conformability in a dry state so that the material can be used on complex part shapes. In closed molding processes using fabrics or coarse reinforcement mats, the lofty glass fibers of OC VL 8860 occupy the spaces between reinforcement fibers to prevent the resin rich areas from shrinking. Shrinkage can cause print-through. The product is typically supplied in 54 inch (137 cm) wide rolls Approximate full roll length 350 ft (107m) Approximate quantity per roll 1600 sq. ft. (150 sqm) 4 inch (100 mm) inside diameter cardboard cores 22-inch (56 cm) outside diameter rolls Rolls typically weigh 100 lb (45 kg) 12" diameter rolls are available upon request

A UNIFORM PULTRUSION REINFORCEMENT MAT OC VL 8101 Pultrusion Reinforcement Mat is an Advantex glass fiber reinforcement mat designed to add bulk to a pultruded laminate while providing uniform reinforcement. The structure of OC VL 8101 consists of uniformly dispersed individual filaments which ensure a smooth surface appearance. The lofty, high die filling capability of OC VL 8101 at lower mat basis weights reduces cost by replacing heavier reinforcements with less expensive resins on a cost per unit volume basis. The performance of the mat gives comparable structural performance to A Glass Continuous Filament Mat (CFM) with a lower basis weight mat. The two primary applications for OC VL 8101 in pultrusion are as a laminate bulking as a center mat and as a uniform surface mat reinforcement. In laminates where high transverse structural properties are required, OC VL 8101 can be used as a center mat to bulk the laminate in combination with a more structural E Glass CFM or fabrics to give required cross machine direction properties. OC VL 8101 is composed of chopped filaments of Advantex glass fiber reinforcements bonded together with a styrene insoluble binder system designed for pultrusion processes. OC VL 8101 is available in 3/8 oz/sq. ft. (115 gsm) to 1 oz/sq. ft. (300 gsm) versions. At these weights, OC VL 8101 can fill a laminate thickness from 0.015" (0.4 mm) to 0.040" (1.0 mm) as a layer of a pultruded composite. OC VL 8101 utilizes 23-micron diameter glass fibers and a small bundle size to give a uniform and relatively closed veil-like appearance.The fiber architecture remains relatively open to enable it to easily wet out with the pultrusion resin.

PULTRUSION DIE FILLING CHARACTERISTICS OC VL 8101 brings several beneficial features to the process including volume filling capacity and mechanical strength at lower glass percentage. The resulting mat can fill greater thickness in a pultruded laminate with lower basis weight. PULTRUSION MAT INFORMATION OC VL 8101 is currently available in a product to meet the needs of pultruders as a drop-in substitution. The roll sizes match the typical equipment used to slit the product to final use widths. The product is typically supplied in 54 inch (137 cm) wide rolls 4 inch (100 mm) inside diameter cardboard cores 22-inch (56 cm) outside diameter rolls Rolls typically weigh 110 lb (50 kg) 23 micron diameter fibers for heavier weight mats for optimized wetting. 3/8 oz/sq. ft. (115 gsm) uses 16 micron diameter x 1-1/4" (32 mm) long fibers for added tensile strength and uniformity.
OC SURFACING VEILS
THICKNESS OC Surfacing Veils are generally selected first based on thickness in the composite part. The standard for corrosion resistance and surface enhancement is 10 mil (0.5 mm). Thicker veils are selected for enhanced surface print blocking or added corrosion protection through a thicker resin-rich surface layer. Generally the thinnest layer that gives sufficient surface properties is chosen. For closed molding and infusion process with higher glass content in the laminate, thicker veils are often required to mask the substrate reinforcements. SOLUBILITY AND BINDER SELECTION The selection of the appropriate binder is based on the composite process and matrix resin chemistry. For open molding and complex curvatures, a soluble binder is preferred. The soluble binder chemistry wets out the fastest and can also be used in dry winding processes where wet strength is not required. The Low Solubility binder systems are chosen when wet strength is required, or in cases where high tensile strength is preferred. Epoxy resins are not styrene based and do not quickly dissolve the soluble binder, so an insoluble binder is typically used.

GLOSSARY
Following are definitions of some of the uncommon terms used in this Reference Guide: Advantex Glass: Basis Weight: Biaxial Material: Binder: Bundle: Bundle Tex: Chop Length: Composite Material: Creel: A boron-free E-glass with superior corrosion resistance in a wide range of environments. Advantex glass is both an E-CR glass and an E-glass in accordance with ASTM D578. The nominal weight of mat for a certain area, ex. 1.5 oz/ft2. Material having fibers oriented in both the warp (0 degree) and weft (90 degree) direction. The agent applied to glass roving, glass mat or preforms to bind the fibers prior to laminating or molding. A general term for a collection of essentially parallel filaments or fibers. A measure of the linear density of the glass bundles in the mat or multi-end roving. The length to which the glass bundles in mat, choppable roving or chopped strands have been cut. A combination of 2 or more materials (reinforcing elements, filler, and resin). The constituents retain their identities, though they act in concert. A device for holding the required number of roving balls or mat plies in the desired position before they are fed into the resin bath. To irreversibly change the properties of a thermosetting resin by chemical reaction. Strength of the mat as received, an indication of it's handling properties prior to addition of resin. A borosilicate glass, type most commonly used in glass fibers for reinforced plastics, suitable for electrical laminates because of its high resistivity. Also called electrical glass. Defined by ASTM D578-98. A general term used to refer to filamentary materials, it is the general term for a filament of finite length. The smallest unit of fibrous material. Fabrics produced by interlooping strands of yarn, roving, etc. The Owens Corning registered brand of fabric reinforcements marketed in North America. At one time, the company producing Knytex fabrics was a joint venture between Owens Corning and Hexcel Corp. Owens Corning subsequently obtained complete ownership. The business is credited with inventing the knitted, multi-axial fabric.

GLOSSARY
Laminate: Loss on Ignition:
116
Material composed of successive layers of resin and reinforcement bonded together. (LOI) weight loss, usually expressed as percent of total, after burning off an organic sizing from glass fibers, or an organic resin or any moisture from a glass fiber laminate. A fibrous material for reinforced plastic consisting of randomly oriented chopped filaments, or swirled continuous filaments loosely held together with a binder or stitching; available in various widths, weights, and lengths. The term generally used for unsaturated polyesters, formed by the reaction of dibasic organic acids and polyhydric alcohol. Abbreviation for pre-impregnated reinforcement fibers. Prepreg is any reinforcing material loaded with B-stage resin, catalyst, and pigment ready for placement in the mold. Appearance of fiber pattern on part surface. A shape, referring to the cross-section of the part to be pultruded. A continuous process for manufacturing composites with a constant cross-sectional shape. The process consists of pulling a fiber reinforcing material through a resin impregnation bath and into a shaping die, where the resin is heated and cured. Material used to give physical and mechanical properties that plastic and other materials alone cannot provide. Typically fiberglass, graphite, aramids and others in roving, mat and/or fabric form. The material used to bind together the reinforcement material; the matrix. A number of strands, tows, or ends collected into a parallel bundle with little or no twist of reinforcing fibers. A unit of measure of the linear density of a fiberglass roving. Given in yards/lbs., the lower the number the larger the size of the roving bundle. Yarns Any treatment consisting of starch, gelatin, oil, wax, or other suitable ingredient that is applied to yarn or fibers at the time of formation to protect the surface and aid the process of handling and fabrication. The treatment contains ingredients that provide surface lubricity and binding action. Reinforcements see definition for Binder above.

GLOSSARY
A very thin ply, usually 7-20 mils thick, of highly filamentized fiberglass, or synthetic fibers, used primarily to produce a smooth, cosmetic surface on a reinforced plastic laminate. Also referred to as surfacing veils. It can also be a chopped strand mat with low bundle tex, e.g. less than 20 tex. The resistance of the mat to shearing or tearing. The maximum tensile stress sustained by a specimen prior to failure in a tensile test. Weight of strand per unit length - SI - grams/1000 meters. Capable of being repeatedly softened by increase of temperature and hardened by decrease in temperature; applicable to those materials whose change upon heating is substantially physical rather than chemical and at the softened stage can be shaped by flow into articles by molding or extrusion. A plastic that, when cured by application of heat or chemical means, changes into a substantially infusible and insoluble material. A surfacing material used to enhance surface finish, weatherability, appearance, and smoothness to the touch (see Surfacing mat). The yarn running lengthwise in a woven fabric; a group of yarns in long lengths and approximately parallel. The transverse threads or fibers in a woven fabrics; those fibers running perpendicular to the warp. Also called the fill or filling yarn. The apparent strength of mat after addition of resin, an indication of mat performance during impregnation and molding. Weight per unit length in yards/lb., for example a 113 yield product weighs 113 yards/lb.
